Official Go-On Black Jacket

[heroizumi]

I'm posting this to see if there's interest. I have an official Go-On Black jacket (medium) from Engine Sentai Go-Onger. I'm in a bit of a spot and I need money, so I've been thinking about selling it. I paid a lot for it (ordered from the official site, ended up getting destroyed by fees and postage). The original price in Japan was 45000yen (approx $550usd with current exchange rates). I also paid a ton for fees from rinkya and shipping within Japan and shipping to the USA. I'd be hoping to get $600+(insured) shipping for it. If you're really interested let me know.

I'm not really sure if I want to sell it because it'll be ridiculously hard to find another.

If I were you, I wouldn't sell it. Sentai jackets have horrendious resale value to the general fandom, since you can get a custom/fanmade one for a fraction of the cost.

I've bought a lot over the years, and I generally regretted selling them since they're just so hard to find.

I'd think it over, and if you really think you won't be wearing or want the jacket again, post it on a few boards but be firm on your price. Eventually someone will do a Google search and will snatch up your jacket for the price you want but don't be in a hurry to sell.

Just keep in mind this could take a year or 2.

Thanks for the advice. I really love this jacket so I don't really want to sell it. And if it'll take a long time to resell it's probably not even worth trying because I need money within a month. I'll probably end up going to a local pawn shop or jewelry store and sell off a ring that I have that I don't wear. Hopefully that'll get me closer to my goal. ~_~ So far I've got $83/$165, though $40 of it is from my monthly food allowance ;___;
